Cotroneo: Manitoba Centennial and City Hall

cotroneo: It was meant to be a one-time event for the Manitoba centennial, says Folkorama executive director Teresa Cotroneo, according to CTV. It was so popular that here we are 50 years later. With just over a month before it begins, preparations are in full swing for its 50th year. In celebration of the event, there will be an honorary street naming and a flag raising at city hall. So guests can see how each community has changed throughout the years, she says. Cotroneo says they've also encouraged pavilions to incorporate a retrospective of their past involvement in the festival. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
